It would be nice if he could be elected sans campaigning.

Alleged quotes by Bolonsaro at the link.

I would be incapable of loving a gay son. I prefer that he die in an accident.

I don't want to throw stones at a man when he is down, but I thought in passing I read quotes by him in the past that seemed excessive. Something to read up on. I posted an article about a year ago on him. There might be a context he said per some of the quotes at the link. I took down one of the quotes. The above remark was made in an interview, so maybe one has to double-check meaning.  Over the top for me.
